The Shell Station on Monroe Street at Lawrence Expressway, on the Sunnyvale - Santa Clara City Limits. Four and a half bucks for gas is pretty normal here now. Even Costco is about $4.45. The composition here features the gas prices, the Lottery sign (perhaps one way to pay for the gas) and in the background perhaps you can see Extreme Networks. There are lots of Extremes here.

When I first bought gas, it cost about 35 cents, and so did a loaf of bread. About 1980 we were all upset because mortgages were 19%, bread was about a buck, and so was gas. In 1999, my first tank of gas in my new truck cost $1.14 but a loaf of nice bread was 2 dollars. One Republican President later, gas is almost 4 dollars (or $4.66 at this Shell). A loaf of crappy bread is still 2 bucks but a loaf of nice bread is almost 4. People stuck between gas prices, paying the home mortgage, and putting food on the table are in a lot of pain. The President's friends are crying all the way to the (Swiss) bank. Sad. Really sad.
